England head coach Brendon McCullum has expressed confidence that captain Ben Stokes will soon rediscover his batting form. In a statement, McCullum stated that Stokes' current struggles are 'not too far away from being sorted'. This comes as the team prepares to face Australia in the Ashes series.
Stokes has struggled with his form in recent months, particularly during the summer's T20 World Cup. He has been working tirelessly on his technique and fitness, but results have been slow to come by.
McCullum's comments are a vote of confidence for Stokes, who has been an integral part of England's team for several years. The head coach has faith that the skipper will bounce back to form soon.
The Ashes series against Australia is set to begin on June 16 at Edgbaston, with England looking to defend their title. McCullum's statement suggests that Stokes could be back in action by then or shortly after.
